As many of you know, I have been having MS for 28 years. It’s only now that I’m in a place of acceptance and talking about it and know deeply in my heart that I will find a way, but it’s not on my own. I have made due with herbs, accupuncture and functional integration. Though it seems still to work, I know that it’s only band-aids, and not the deep internal work and process that I need to do.
One day ago, I met my acupuncturist and it was the first time that he suggested, for my last exacerbation, chemotherapy. I had heard about it before, from my doctor from Evanston Hospital, but I always thought there was no way I was ever going to do aything like that. Because the acupuncturist is a friend of mine, and has helped me a lot, I could not only listen, I could filter it from my head into my heart, and I am certain if Dr. Sung Beck (MD and acupuncturist, and my acupuncture’s teacher) from Seattle supervises the treatment, I need to do it.
I foresee a letting go, and a welcoming of something new. Perhaps you have yourself, or family or friends, who went through things like this in their life, or are going through things like this. I appreciate any communication.
I feel so lucky that I’m not alone. For the first time in my life, I have somebody with me (Ted) whom you perhaps know, who is there for me, helps me a lot, and is involved in all that is happening. I have other friends who I am not shy to talk to, to communicate, which is quite new for me.
Love,
Regula
Im very happy to hear of your new found happiness and acceptance of new comings and situations. i hope all has worked out for you. It’s good to take risks sometimes. Although it can be scary it builds you as a person and all around can help strengthen you. I hope all has been working out ok for you and your health? Its a dangerous situation and truly sad anyone should have to go through it. It was wise advise your friend and Dr. Sung gave you…
which brings me to the other reason for why i am responding to this entry, my mother used to know Sung many years ago if its the same man whom you’re referring to, and she sometimes will mention him. I would love for her to be able to get in contact with him somehow, i think she misses him. It would help her because i fear she is suffering depression as well as back problems.
if you have any way of letting me know how to contact Sung please let me know
thanks
